Firefox on Mac and minimising window

Hi

I'm running OSX and have Firefox 3.07 running and noticed a curious
thing. When I minimise or close the Firefox window using either the
red or yellow buttons at the top left of the window, Firefox
minimises, but all the menus disappear, except the "Firefox" one. If I
"right click" on the Firefox ion in the bar at the bottom, I see a
tick for the window, but no text next to it. I cannot then open a
window unless I select "About Mozilla Firefox", which then shows all
the menus again, and I can then select open new window.

How do I stop this from happening?

I also get this behaviour on 3.0.8 on Mac. When I've closed all the
windows, and the program is still active, Mac behaviour should be that
Firefox opens a new window. However, when I ctrl-click on the icon, I
have a window without a title, and a blank tick next to it. When I do
have other windows open, I have a blank window that appears at the
bottom of all of the other windows I have open.

I have just fixed why this happens to me. I had the FoxTab extension
installed, which introduces this error.
10.5.6 is apparently not yet supported.
